Lolita (1997 version)

This is a novel-based drama directed by Adrian Lyne and starring Jeremy Irons and Dominique Swain.

The movie tells the story of a man who becomes obsessed with a teenage girl who he sees in a house in which he rents a room. He marries the girl's mother so he can see the girl, who he nicknames Lolita. The lady dies and the girl blames the man for her death ('murder me like you murdered my mother!'), because she died shortly after she found out about the guy's attraction to the girl.

The two develop a relationship, but does it last?

I really enjoyed the way this movie was shot. Also, there is quite a lot of intensity and romance in it, which made it captivating.
